He knew very well what Chu Yue was planning to say. However, what she was about to say was simply useless. Chu Yue would not be able to help him. If she insisted on helping him, she would only bring harm upon herself.

Chu Feng did not wish to implicate her.

Even he himself did not know who it was that had been disguised as him. He also did not possess any evidence to prove his innocence.

He merely wanted to utilize Wuming Fenghuo’s ident.i.ty and status to suppress Chu Hanqing and his accomplices so that he would have the time to investigate the truth.

“Chu Yue, is what you said true?” Chu Xuanzhengfa revealed a joyous look. He had always wanted to right this injustice for Chu Feng. Yet, he had no idea where to start.

Chu Yue’s emergence had brought forth an opening for him to investigate the matter. If someone could prove that Chu Feng was not present, they would be able to determine that the person who had poisoned their Lord Clan Chief was an imposter.

“Chu Yue, you are truly one to blabber nonsense! What sort of benefit did that Chu Feng give you for you to defend him with those lies?!” Before Chu Yue could answer, Chu Hanqing spoke furiously. He had directly concluded that Chu Yue was lying.

“Milord, everything I said is true.”

“What I’ve said is the truth. Not only am I able to prove it, but they too are able to prove it. They went to pay little brother Chu Feng a visit together with me.”

Chu Yue began to mention the names of the people of the younger generation that had gone to visit Chu Feng together with her that day.

“Men!” Chu Xuanzhengfa shouted. He planned to order his men to bring all those people of the younger generation over.

“Men! Go and bring those people over here! I shall see if they are going to say the same thing as you!”

However, before Chu Xuanzhengfa could finish his order, Chu Hanqing interrupted him.

Soon, the people of the younger generation that had gone to visit Chu Feng together with Chu Yue that day were all brought to the plaza by Chu Hanqing’s subordinates and the people from the Law Enforcement Hall.

“All of you, speak the truth. Do not feel pressured. Lord Wuming Fenghuo is here, no one will dare to make things difficult for you,” Chu Xuanzhengfa was afraid that those people would be afraid, and thus reminded them.

“Milord, I am telling the truth. That day, I was at home undergoing closed-door training. I simply never went to pay Chu Feng a visit.”

“What?” Hearing those words, not only did Chu Yue’s expression change greatly, but even Chu Xuanzhengfa’s expression changed greatly.

Following that person, the other people of the younger generation also began to speak.

“Chu Yue, what you mentioned simply never happened. Even if you want to protect Chu Feng, you shouldn’t drag me into this.”

“That’s right. Chu Yue, no matter what, we are brothers and sisters of the same clan. How could you harm us like this?”

In unison, those people all denied what had happened back then with earnest expressions.

“You all, you all…”

Chu Yue turned deathly pale. She did not expect those people to deny what had happened that day.

Chu Feng, on the other hand, had already antic.i.p.ated this. He knew very well that those people would not help them because they were afraid of Chu Hanqing.

That was also the reason why Chu Feng had tried to keep Chu Yue from mentioning the truth from the very start.

As for Chu Xuanzhengfa, he was bewildered.

He had been carefully observing those people, observing their expressions and body movements out of fear that they were telling lies.

However, from his observation, those people’s behavior did not appear to be abnormal at all. This meant that they did not lie, and were telling the truth.

But, if they were telling the truth, wouldn’t it mean that Chu Yue was the one who was lying?

At that moment, Chu Xuanzhengfa was a bit perplexed.

Seeing the perplexed look on Chu Xuanzhengfa’s face, Chu Hanqing and his accomplices started to sneer in their hearts.

It was Chu Hanqing who had personally captured Chu Feng from his residential palace that day. As such, how could he not know that there were people present that could prove Chu Feng’s innocence?

In order to keep those people from testifying for Chu Feng, Chu Hanqing did not choose to silence them, and instead made threats and promises to them. He found all of them and made them sing the same tune.

The only person he did not bother to seek out was Chu Yue. The reason for that was because he felt that Chu Yue would not dare to bring up the matter.

After all, Chu Yue had betrayed Chu Feng for the sake of her own self-interest. As such, she would naturally not dare to make an enemy of him. On top of that, Chu Yue’s mother was a member of the Law Enforcement Hall. Thus, Chu Hanqing decided to disregard Chu Yue.

However, he actually ended up miscalculating. He did not expect for Chu Yue to actually attempt to redress Chu Feng’s injustice.

However, although he had miscalculated, it didn’t matter. After all, the others were all unified and singing to his tune.

Chu Hanqing had already fed those people of the younger generation poison. Thus, they simply did not dare to disobey him.

Furthermore, Chu Hanqing had not only made them swallow poison, but he also fed them a special sort of medicinal pellet. That medicinal pellet was capable of reigning in their emotions, allowing them to lie in plain sight.

That was also the reason why Chu Xuanzhengfa and even Wuming Fenghuo were unable to determine that those people of the younger generation were lying.

All of this was due to the fact that Chu Hanqing was already prepared for this.

“Chu Yue, what else do you have to say?!” Chu Hanqing asked angrily.

At that moment, Chu Yue turned ashen. She didn’t know how to explain herself. What she had said was clearly the truth. Yet, she was felt very powerless.

“Putt~~~”

Chu Yue sat paralyzed on the ground. She seemed to have received an enormous shock.
